About this activity
Combine wilderness and heritage on this full-day private tour: guided nature walk in a pristine Finnish national park with a professional wilderness guide, followed by a leisurely exploration of Porvoo's charming Old Town with its red-wooden riverside houses, cobblestone streets, and local artisan shops. Ideal for travellers wanting both authentic forest immersion and cultural discovery in one outing from Helsinki.
Experience the best of both worlds! A relaxing hike in a Finnish national park and an afternoon stroll through the enchanting old town of Porvoo. It's your vacation so let us take care of the details.
Visiting a national park is a MUST when travelling to Finland. Lucky for you, we have a professional wilderness guide who will tell your group many fascinating facts about Finnish nature and culture.

After a refreshing taste of nature, we continue to the magical old town of Porvoo. A small and colourful village lined with cobblestone streets. We will visit the Porvoo cathedral, walk through the idyllic town square and handicraft stores, visit Porvoo's famous chocolate shop and take photos from the picture-perfect bridge overlooking the old town and river.
